“My Husband’s Love”
The Reason Dicky Delighted Madge,
Then Astonished Her.
Who's the nifty lady that lives on
our stairs? Perhaps I should say on
this floor, but I guess stairs will do,
for there I see her every time I climb
the weary flight,” said Dicky when he
had safely closed the door behind him
not half an hour after he had tele
phoned. “I mean the dame with the
abundant figure and the baby stare?"
I hart gazed at Dicky bewildered un
til his last sentence; then light dawned
upon me.
"Oh!” I cxclamled, none too pleased,
as Dicky was swift to see and I to
realize he saw, for I caught the glint
of impish glee in his eyes as he swiftly
countered;
"Spill the story, old dear.”
"There’s nothing to spill.'' I tried
hard to match his mood with a twinkle
of my own. "Except—Oh, Dicky, you
should have seen her when she came
in to borrow an onion—actually an
onion—not an hour ago. Why, I never
saw such a getup. or heard such im
pudent—no, I don't mean quite that,"
1 admitted. “But—’’
"Simply must be seen and heard to
be appreciated,” Dicky paraphrased, as
he put his arm about me and drew me
down beside him on the sofa.
"Why, she had the effrontery to
comment on your appearance. She
said she had seen you .on the stairs—”
"She's honest, sweetheart, give her
credit for that," Dicky tweaked my ear
and I made a saucy moue at him lie
fore he pulled my head down on his
shoulder, "jfftt, seriously, dear," his
voice was more like my Peter Pan
than I had heard it in months, “I’m
not altogether crazy ahoat tills .pal
ace you picked out for- our ‘town
house.' Can’t you better our humble
condition? I’ll help—”
A Friendly “Tilt."
"That’s precisely why we're here,”
I said mischievously, though with
perfect, truth, then hastily added, for
I felt Dicky s arm relax and I feared
to spoil these hours so like our honey
moon. "I know you meant to help me
hut how could I—with nothing to do
but go house hunting—expect you, my
doughty knight of the pencil and
brush, to lay aside your labors for me
bread and butter and that of his high
ness, our—”
"Can the chatter, old thing!”
Dicky's arm was tight about me again
and I knew the danger was past,
knew also that hp was enjoying our
tilting ns much—indeed, far more than
I. "What was it you said about
mother's letter? I didn't get you.”
"Oh!" my heart constricted as there
flashed before my eyes the post card
with its cryptic seven words in the
handwriting of a man which mother
Graham had sent in her daily letter
about Junior. "Mother enclosed a
post card which I want you to read.
It—"
"Gee!" Dicky nearly upset me, so
swift W'as his movement in rising to
a sitting posture and pulling out his
watch with his disengaged hand. "I
clean forgot to telephone Alt that
we'd meet them at 7:30.’’
“Tear I'p That Post Card.”
"But I thought you told me over
the telephone,” I began, but he cut
me short with an impatient exclama
tion as he disengaged his arm from
around me. rose and went to the tele
phone.
I heard him give the telephone num
ber of Alfred Durkee's-office to Cen
tral. the while I wondered whether
Dicky ever would grow up, and then
in a flash there came the thought that
I would not have him other than he
Is.
"Guess they're closed for the day.”
he turned from the telephone to me,
then, after he had Joggled the hook
up and down several times and had
asked central to cancel the number,
he said with a cheery smile: “But I
guess it will he all right. They'll be
there w'ith their hair in two braids,
never fear.” He pulled off his coat,
yawning the while. "Pardon me,” he
mnde a low oheisance with mockery In
every movement, "If it pleaseth thee,

"But it doesn't please me. Dicky. I
tried for an excuse for a laugh, but
failed dismally. "That post card—’’
"Who's it from?" There was a fur
row between his dancing eyes that
belied his palpable attempt to appear
to he concentrating upon the subject
which obviously did not interest hint
one whit.
"1 don't know,” I looked straight
into his eyes, hoping to catch the
first gleam of interest.
What 1 saw there was not what I
had hoped or expected. A sudden
flame of cool, calculating, concen
trated anger, unlike anything I had
ever before seen in Dicky’s eyes—

anything of the kind sitting in a tree
very long at a time becomes uncom

It so. Yes, sir. Johnny Chuck was
finding so.
At first he hadn’t minded it at all.
But after a while the crotch in which
ho was sitting began to grow more
a od mote uncomfortable, until It
seemed to him that it was the most
rage—swept away the quizzical ex
pression they had held.
"Forget it," lie exclaimed. "I don't
want any more of this melodramatic
business in my life. Don't forget that
l almost lost you through your stub
born determination to have your own
way. No. I don’t intend—I wouldn't
think—of trying to boss you, but you
lake my advice, tear up that post
card and forget about It."
He swung on his heel and walked
into the bedroom, leaving me so
astounded that there was no room
in my heart or mind for resentment.
uncomfortable place he bad ever been
in an all hia life. You see he couldn’t
change his position for fear of fall
ing. It wasn't a big tree, and so the
branches were not big enough to af
ford Johnny Chuck a comfortable
seat.
Johnnv tried climbing up to a
crotch above the one in which be had
been sitting, but this proved to be
worse than the other, so he climbed
down again. All the time jolly, round,
bright Mr. Sun was climbing higher
and higher in the blue, blue sky, and
Johnny was becoming uncomfortably
warm. How he did want to get down
on the ground! My, my, my, how
he did want to get down on the
ground! But there lay Reddy Fox
cruled up just a short distance away,
appearing to he asleep. Johnny
wasn't fooled. No, Indeed, Johnny
wasn't fooled. He knew that Reddy
wasn't asleep and had no Intention
of going to sleep. He knew that
Reddy was just waiting for him to
come down. Minute by minute Johnny
Chuck grew more and more unhappy.
His position was strained and this
made his arms and legs grow tired. It
seemed to him that ho couldn't slay
up there any longer. But so long as
Reddy Fox was down there so near
the foot of that tree he would have
to stay up in it.
To make matters worse Black tlie
Crow and Sammy Jay had spread the
news all around, and every one who
could fly took occasion to pass that
way and make some remark. At least
it seemed to Johnny Chink that every
one who coulld fly came along. Of
course it wasn't quite true. But
Johnny had enough visitors to make
him think it was true. The worst of
it was each one gave him advice,
and advice was something that.
Johnny Chuck didn't want and had
no use for. Johnny knew exactly
what he could and couldn't do, and
all the advice in the world wouldn't
change things.
At last everybody went away ex
cepting Reddy Fox. Even Sammy Jay
and Blacky the Crow flew away. You
ace, it looked very much as If noth
ing would happen there. It looked
very much as If Johnny Chuck would
stay right where he was until the
patience of Roddy Fox gave out. So
Johnny was left to himself. Had he
not been so uncomfortable he would
have grow n sleepy. But he was too
uncomfortable and too worreid to grow
sleepy, and perhaps It was just as
well. You see. had he grown sleepy

Problems That Perplex
Can Kove Be Won.
Dear Miss Fairfax: I’m in love
with a man who doesn’t care for me
at all. We meet seldom and I have
no natural opportunity to get to be a
habit with him or to attract him
through propinquity. X am shy and
reserved and none of my friends took
to me easily. But now 1 have good
friends and some admirers as well.
But the one man 1 care for doesn't
seem to know that I exist. Fife isn't
worth much to me without him, as X
have proved to myself by almost a
year of absolute devotion to him and
all he means to me.
My pride won’t let me do anything
which might humiliate me in case
there Is no bhsis for mutual attrac
tion. X can’t take a step toward him
—and he doesn't take a step toward
me. I am to see him at a dinner in
a month. I suppose the hostess would
give liini to me for a partner, but
I'm ashamed to ask her. What would
you do in my place? MXi.XlRI’.D.
Suppose. Mildred, you wanted to
secure a good position. Would you
hesitate to work for it? Suppose you
wanted to get an advance In your
own tirm. would you refuse to make
some honest effort to call attention to
what you had to recommend you? And
now that you want what seems to
you the Vdggest thing life can offer
you—why not set out to win it?
The normal human instinct Is to
go after your mate. Whether it be by
unconscious allurement, or by honest
mental effort, your heritage from pre
historic man Is to make some struggle
to attract the man you love. And the
only thing that conns between a wo
man and her striving to make the
man for whom sho cares care for her
in turn is pride.
T’ride is self-love exaggerated to a
dangerous degree. Dignity and a
he rniyht have fallen out of that tree.
At last Johnny became so uncom
fortable that ho bad Just about made
up his mind that he couldn't stand It
any lonyer. He had just about made
up his mind that he would yo down
and flyht Ileddy Fox. It would oe
better to be killed tlyhtlny than to re
main a prisoner up in that tree until
he had so little strenyth that he
couldn't fiyht. It was just then that
he once more saw Farmer Brown's

sense of proportion have nothing to
do with pride. They keep desire from ,
running amuck with us. Hut not to
go a Unit winning love With a high l
pride In the honesty of a big feeling
for another is a weak and ignoble
thing.
Ileal love doesn't often fail unless
it fastens on the wrong object. "When
a girl wants to steal another woman's j
sweetheart her feeling is too dishon
orable to rank as love. It may be :

is not love, and it does not deserve to

But when you give your honest, :
normal, unselfish love, why shouldn't
you show at least a free and generous
Interest and sympathy with the one
you long to win? Why not set about
making yourself necessary to the one
wliose love you long to compel.

Dear Miss Fairfax: I haVe been

my parents object to him. I am 17

Geese can he raised successfully

largely on grass during the growing i

They can 1m* housed very cheaply, as
they need protection only during

Geese could be raised profitably on
